BMW M760i
Why 4.8: DougScore 69 because the daily side is enormous. The involvement side is a wonderful contradiction: twelve cylinders, executive mass, and depreciation doing most of the drama.

Sound
Six and a half litres of V12, and BMW keeps the exhaust valves shut through most of the rev range. Open them in Sport and what emerges is closer to a buzzy V8 than to twelve cylinders. Rated on what reaches the cabin, which is a distant hum.
12-cylinder · turbocharged · 6,500 rpm redline · rated 4.7 / 10 for engine sound

The long version
The M760i is not an M7; it is a 7-Series that accidentally became a German muscle car. The V12 makes it fascinating, the chassis makes it remote, and the used market makes it terrifying in exactly the way depreciated luxury flagships always are. It earns a slot because it represents a disappearing configuration: silent limousine, huge engine, and a badge trying to make excess feel technical. People buy it for the engine and the absurdity, not because they plan to clip apexes.
